When I moved the F7 from my old HD to this new one it would not boot
up. I got consistant kernel panic. I tried a number of things but
nothing worked.
Just to see if it would work, I used the F7 DVD and Updated the
system. It didn't do much and it took like 5 minutes or less to complete
the update. I rebooted and the system booted up fine but it has some odd
things listed in the boot.
It has worked for a couple of months and seems stable but I would
like to reduce the number of steps the boot takes. It is so long that
the simple page that covers boot never comes up.
Below is part of dmesg from the first step to where it is about to
start using init. It is possible all this is nornal. But I have no way
of knowing this.
